There are only a few actors left from the Hollywoord generation that actually liked America. With him goes another piece of that generation.

J.W. Coop was my favorite Cliff Robertson film.

I was just going to bring that one up. I saw it on Retroplex just a few weeks ago. Not my usual fair but after I started watching it Robertson really drew me in. I had missed maybe the first twenty minutes and when it came on again a week later I watched it from the start. Sad to see him go. Sounds like he lived a good life. Rest in peace.
